BAD REPORT

System: Xbox Series S

Aircraft: Boeing 777 200ER captain sim

No Mods

Flight time when problem occurred: 2 hours and 10 minutes

Route planned: EGLL (LHR) to OPIS (ISB)

Flight plan: World map flight planner

Rolling cache: 40GB

Black avionics: No
CTD: No

Notes: Around 2 hours and 10 minutes into the flight the sim completely FROZE. Nothing was working the aircraft stopped moving but engines and avionics were still on and could hear the engines. I could still interact with controls but nothing worked. Map froze, fuel was still going down even though the plane wasnt moving. The flight was smooth all the way up until this point. I have never experienced this before and haven’t had black avionics and CTD on any flights since last update. I waited 45 minutes to see if it would come back to life and it didn’t so had to quit.

I don’t envy the developers with this problem. It seems like there are so many variables and permutations to this. Whoever works this out and definitively fixes this deserves a raise haha.

Hi @KINGAMB777,
When reporting in #bugs-and-issues remove all mods including any 3rd Party content from the marketplace that is not Asobo.

Thank you.

Am I not allowed to report flights with the 777?

Hi KINGAMB777,
The 777 isn’t an Asobo aircraft. It’s a 3rd Party aircraft.

When the developers test, they do not use any 3rd Party addons. Only default content.

That seems quite common to complete the flight and get the problems on transit to the gate, this has happened to me too. At least we can complete most of the flights now though, which previously I know I couldn’t.

This also explains where a lot of the hrs in my log have gone too.

NOTES: Lots of traffic on the same track as me coming in the opposite direction. Some of the vertical separation was very dodgy. I was climbing as directed by ATC and missed an oncoming aircraft by about 800ft. Nice to see lots of traffic but maybe not so close next time :rofl:

Got a CTD my avionics went blank after landing and on my way exiting the runway. Flying the Barron G58. The whole flight was perfect.

Avionics restarted few seconds later by their own.

Also same thing happened with the King air while taxiing.

Im still getting this on every flight and in every plane. Still no fix since sim update 5. Uselsess.

Are you certain you aren’t draining the battery?

Make sure you have both alternators on so the batteries don’t drain

Yooo All the instruments are not working even thought the new 90gb update
